209 Arrogance
Lian Juan was very unhappy when she heard that the Lian family actually gave back the Shen family's property, and pouted: "Eldest sister, you and the second brother are too good, can there be good people in that family? ”
Lian was a little dissatisfied, "According to my sister's wishes, I want the rest of their family to starve to death?"
"Who can starve to death if they have hands and feet? The eldest sister Bodhisattva is heart-wrenched, it is better to feel more distressed and distressed for her sister's family. ”
Lian Juan didn't know how to advance or retreat, her words were arrogant, and Zhang couldn't hide her disdain.
Ling Xiang was becoming more and more disappointed in her.
Lian Juan is a daughter, and she couldn't share the family's property after she got married, but she relied on Mrs. Qiu's favor, and after years of going back to her parents' house to fight the autumn breeze, Mrs. Qiu stuffed a lot of money in private, and she couldn't hide it from her son and daughter-in-law at all. Later, when he saw that the mountains and forests that produced walnuts were valuable, he went home to fight for production, and fought with his second brother Lian Chengxian in one place, tearing his face, and he was easily pulled together by Lian's and others, but his face and heart were not in harmony. Just said that Lu Weixiu's timber shop and brick kiln were also run with money borrowed from Ling Dongcheng, and they were all borrowed but not repaid, Ling Dongcheng's family didn't care about the great cause, but others remembered it.
In recent years, Lu Weixiu has accumulated a lot of money and purchased hundreds of acres of land, and the husband and wife have gradually become arrogant, and they don't take their brothers and sisters-in-law seriously at all, especially Lian Chengzhi, the eldest brother who opened an idea shop, and Lian Juan mentioned a poor ghost behind his back, which is very eye-catching.
Lian ignored his sister and said to Ling Xuan: "Listen to the official officer, according to the ancestral system, the direct elders of the crown princess have another reward, maybe the prince will ask for a grace in the inner court today, if it is a hereditary position, it can be regarded as adding glory to the Lian family." ”
Ling Xiang nodded and drank tea, thinking that he would be given the title of a hereditary general, but he didn't know if it would be the eldest uncle or the second uncle in the future. Although the uncle is the elder, he is a concubine, and he is honest, and his grandmother can speak at home. Probably not his turn to do it.
Speaking here, including Lian's, Ling Xiang said words such as "your uncle" and "your grandmother", and Pindi, Shi Xiao and Wen Qin had just learned the palace rules, and they all knew that it was not appropriate. After serving the tea, they all retreated to the outside to guard.
In recent days, there have been a lot of belongings in the palace, and there are countless strange ornaments, gold and jade jewelry, etc., which have been confiscated by various families, and I know that the princess's maiden family has arrived in the East Palace today, and the chief steward Sun has carried three gold-painted chests in.
It was cold outside, and Ling Makeup didn't want to take them around the garden, so he called Pindi and the waiter to come in, removed the glazed kang screen, and opened the three gold-painted chests for the aunts and uncles to choose.
The three boxes contained headdresses, necklaces, and rings. Belt pendants, etc., are mostly made of gold and jade, and when they are opened, they are jeweled, and everyone's eyes are bright.
Women have a natural passion for jewelry, but in front of the girls, they finally know that the elders and young are inferior, Lian Juan got up from the rose purple gold velvet embroidery pier, sat back again, and said, "The eldest sister should pick it first." ”
Lian said with a smile: "Where is Niangniang missing me, the family has a full box." Take your pick. ”
Lian Jie, who had not spoken, smiled brightly, and four women surrounded her.
The Chen family is still a little reserved, and the Zhang family is also a person who refuses to suffer, seeing that Lian Juan raised his hand and took the largest pair of Jin Fulu Diancui jewelry. Not to be outdone, he quickly picked up another pair of golden stupas and dotted with large jewelry.
In fact, Ling Makeup knew the virtues of the women, and prepared at least four copies of the same weight of gold and jade heads.
Lian Juan grabbed another pair of big jewels, smiled and said to Lian's family: "The eldest sister is already Mrs. Bo, just give me your share?"
Lian has always been generous to his mother's brothers and sisters, and he will not object when he hears it.
Lian Juan beckoned her son again and said, "Jiajia, come and choose some for your mother." Don't you like shiny things?"
Lu Jiahang was grabbing a piece of eight-treasure cake and eating happily, he was stunned when he heard this, threw the half-eaten pastry back into the box, stepped on a few gold-painted boxes from the kang, and grabbed the jewelry with his mother.
Ling Xiang frowned slightly, where did the child understand this, it must have been taught by Lian Juan in advance, and he was even more disappointed in this family. In fact, these jewels are put out today, not only to reward relatives, some people have not seen them for many years, but also to take a look at their nature, Lian Juan showed this face, mixed in Kyoto, it is inevitable to lose the face of her mother's family, Ling Makeup made up her mind in her heart, and as soon as the wedding was over, she asked her mother to send their family back.
Zhang's saw that Lian Juan picked two copies of each similar style, and couldn't help but taste it, thinking that after all, they were sisters, and the relationship between them and her sister-in-law was different, and her subordinates were not soft, so they picked the heavy ones.
After they picked out, the three boxes were basically empty, Zhang couldn't help blushing, and gently put back a pair of gold-encrusted coral earrings.
Lian Juan wore a ring on each finger, raised her hand to look left and right, and asked her son if she was good-looking, smiling from ear to ear, and even a trace of shame was owed.
Ling Xiang saw that the Chen family had picked the least, so she gave the rest to her, Lian Juan hurriedly grabbed a box and stacked things into it, and said, "Unconsciously move out so much, there is no box that can't be taken." ”
There were still some jade fan pendants, small gold ornaments and other things scattered at the bottom of the box, she grinned and closed it, Chen lowered his face, took a box with Lian Jie and put it in, and left the remaining box to Zhang.
Ling Xiang said: "I also picked a few winter and spring materials, which must have been in the carriage." ”
Several women thanked each other, and Lian Juan said: "We have heard many rumors about the crown prince on the canal, such as the four beauties today, the crown prince actually occupies the first one, and somehow he looks handsome, but he doesn't let his aunts and aunts see him?"
According to Ling Makeup's smug Cheng in front of Rong Xijue, it was not difficult to see Ben, but she really couldn't bear to ask the prince to entertain so closely, so she ignored her mother's expectant eyes, and said with a slight smile: "The prince must take the Jiao vows today, and it is already a blessing of heaven to take the time to meet his grandfather and others, and there will be opportunities in the future." ”
Lian Juan was a little unhappy and wanted to try her best to restrain herself, but she didn't know that it was still visible.
Compared with his sister, Lian's heart was of course towards his daughter, and he glanced at her with disgust.
Because of the poisoning of the prince last time, Zhang's originally thought that a catastrophe would fall from the sky, but who knew that he gently exposed it, and was very grateful, so he said: "The prince's posture is eternal, and the people in the market make a four beauties, which is really blasphemous, sister, don't Hu Qin." ”
"They are all close relatives, I just want to see them, how can I become Hu Qin when I come to you? I heard that I don't know who rushed out to show his face, asked someone to take the opportunity, and almost killed the prince. ”
"You!" Zhang couldn't help but change color when he heard this, but he didn't dare to quarrel with Lian Juan in the East Palace, so he barely endured it.
Wei Jin and the others came in at the right time, changed into hot tea, and asked Ling Makeup for instructions: "Niangniang, can you arrange a banquet for lunch?" )
PS: I received a short station in the first two weeks, but in fact, I haven't recommended it, it seems that I have been running for a month, and my recent results are not good, and I am a little lazy, I haven't written for two consecutive days, and I am frightened to see the manuscript slip. However, those who chase books may also be tired, so it's good to take a break and save a few more chapters to read again.
